Keep in mind that easy and learning a language aren't always a good mix. There will be times when some concepts are challenging.
The most effective way essentially depends on each individual person, but here's a pretty basic outline.
1) Try our SpanishDict lessons.
2) Try the SpanishDict flashcards.
3) Read in Spanish! Start off small, like with kid's books, and build your way up.
Just take it slow. If you are overwhelmed by looking at a whole page, don't! Give yourself the time to slowly improve. Sure, right now it's single words and simple sentences. That's an amazing start.
Start with single words, build up to sentences, and slowly work your way up to two sentences, then three..then whole paragraphs.
Think about how you learned to read in your native language. Your teachers didn't throw you into 600 page novels when you were learning to read...that'd be crazy, not to mention traumatizing.
Try reading children's books.
Here are a whole bunch of Clifford books in Spanish.
4) Listen to Spanish music! My suggestions:
I love "Niña Bonita" by Chino y Nacho. I dare you to not start dancing while listening to it!
And then "Colgando en Tus Manos". This song is...beautiful.
O H M Y G O O D N E S S - "Loca" by Shakira...it's amazing! In English, it's very upbeat. In Spanish, she sings so quickly, Dios mío, it's ridiculous. "Loca" is very contemporary. Loca - Spanish Version
Another Shakira song is "Waka Waka". Waka Waka - Spanish Have you heard Rabiosa by Shakira? (I like the English version better because I like Pitbull
)
Also, if you like Selena Gomez, this is her song "Who Says" in Spanish...Dices - Selena Gomez
Julieta Venegas is really talented! I like "Andar Conmigo".
Colgando en Tus Manos - with lyrics
5) Join in on the SpanishDict chat room conversations. It's recently been updated so you can video chat. Also, keep an eye out for a Skype chat being planned by Heidita.
6) Ask on the forum if you ever need help!
